- stewbrew 12y agoWouldn't one rather want to use rvm?
- jerhinesmith 12y agoRVM/rbenv/chruby are generally discouraged on production servers.
- andyl 12y agoNot for me! Being able to easily swap rubies in production gives a lot of flexibility. I've found that Chruby in production has been very reliable and easy to manage.

- rubiquity 12y agoI don't know why you are being downvoted, you are absolutely correct. If you need update something as important as a programming language version, you should be rebuilding the server entirely a la Immutable Infrastructure. If you're using Docker, it's as simple as building a new docker image with the latest Ruby version.
